In a nutshell yes.  You won't be able to drive for a few weeks after the operation - how long depends on the type of surgery done and how much pain medication you need afterwards.

You may have your work back, yes, but maybe you need to be extra careful that time. Your hip, just like your knee carries the mass of your body. You also have to consider that time when you have your hip replacement surgery, it may cause failure to your surgery if you insist yourself in that kind of work. Doctors can advise you for that matter, to what extent your body and your hip surgery may able to control. It may take you long weeks or over a month to be fully recovered.
